Information regarding pipes
► Use suitable pipes.
► Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
► Glue plastic pipes to ensure a permanent and reliable joint or use socket joints with clips to stop them
from coming apart.
► Standing water in pipes can freeze when there is a hard frost and cause pipes to burst. For this reason,
lay the pipes and hoses with a gradient (50 mm/m) to ensure that they can run empty.
► For gravity fed systems, it must be possible to shut off the supply from the pond and the return to the
pond for maintenance and repair work. For this reason, install suitable slide valves.
► In the case of the gravity fed system, the sum of the losses in the supply line must not exceed 7 mbar
(7 cm).
– Otherwise the water level in the filter system will go below the minimum water level during
operation. Optimum, fault-free operation will no longer be possible.
► In the gravity fed system, the ideal flow rate per DN 110 supply line is between 6000 l/h and 8500 l/h.
Provide sufficient supply lines.

Connecting the inlet
W A R N I N G
The container is made of glass fibre reinforced plastic. Hazardous glass fibre particles are released
during drilling or sanding.
► Always wear a suitable respirator mask when drilling or sanding.
Pump fed system
The filter system is equipped with a 50 mm (2 ") inlet for the filter pump. If necessary, the connection set
(18798) can be used to install a second 50 mm (2 ") inlet for another filter pump. The maximum flow rate
of the filter system remains 20000 l/h.
► Markings for the through holes of the second inlet are provided on the container wall. Ensure that the
through hole is cut out.
► Leave any unused inlets closed.
► You can also connect a UVS clarifier. (→ Fitting the UVC clarifier)
How to proceed:
A, H
1. Undo the threaded cap with flat seal from the connection.
2. Screw the union nut with 50 mm (2 ") hose connector and flat seal onto the connection. Hand-tighten
the union nut.
3. Slip the 50 mm (2") hose of the filter pump onto the hose connector and secure with a hose clip.
